I've read a lot about railfans and police - I've been railfanning for many a year now and travel frequently to the US each year with friends specifically for a railfan week away - photographing - Only once have I been approached by a railroad police officer - that was in the Chicago area. He asked for our identification and asked what we were doing - it was obvious but I understand his questions because I too am a police officer and I too enjoy my hobby of railfanning. Once I produced the proper identification we had a great time - I've been many places in the US photographing many railroads without incident or even questions being asked. Sometimes it just boils down to being polite, curtious and clearly asking permission - it is amazing and refreshing how much friendship you can develope between people who have a common interest in trains. Just be up front, ask permission and be freindly - railfanning is alive and well and available.
